3D lung model may predict Post-Surgery breathing better than old methods
NCT ID NCT07436598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to predict how well your lungs will work after lung cancer surgery. Doctors will use 3D CT scans to create a virtual model of your lungs and simulate the surgery beforehand. The goal is to see if this method is more accurate than current techniques, helping surgeons plan safer operations. The study involves 60 adults with non-small cell lung cancer who are scheduled for video-assisted lung surgery.
